Scrum is a framework for developing and sustaining complex products. This definition consists of Scrum’s roles, events, artefacts and the rules that bind them together. Ken Schwaber and Jeff Sutherland developed Scrum. Scrum makes clear the relative efficacy of your product management and development practices so that you can improve. The Scrum framework consists of Scrum Teams (and their associated roles Scrum Master and Product Owner), events, artefacts and rules. Each component within the framework serves a specific purpose and is essential to Scrum’s success and usage.
